SI: We can picture the scene now - at Ubisoft Montreal headquarters, the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood team are all jumping around, partying and celebrating their ultimate victory - a Game of the Year award from Strategy Informer. Lead designer Patrick Plourde hushs his team, before announcing 'We must create an extra set of DLC missions as a thank you! To the design room!' And that is how The Da Vinci Disappearance DLC was conceived.
Before you begin to call bull on that little story, let us quickly distract your attention with the new downloadable content itself. As the name would suggest, the new missions focus on the quirky and entertaining Da Vinci, although - as the name would also suggest - he doesn't actually appear in it much.
A post taking a look at some characters you want watching your back when shit hits the fan.
As I’m certain you’re all well aware of, AC: III is only days away. That’s right, folks, we’re in the single digits. Before Connor’s story is released, however, I took the opportunity to introduce a non-Assassin’s Creed fan friend to the franchise. Over the last month I have played AC: II, AC: Brotherhood and AC: Revelations, the last of which I only wrapped up days ago. I had never played the three games one right after another before and what I found was extremely interesting. So, here’s a shotgun review of each one, now that I have some perspective.
Actually I have played all the games, but since Ubisoft dropped Altair in favour of Ezio I could hardly write about him.
If Left 4 Dead 2 has been sitting on your gaming shelf for a long time, collecting dust, now is the perfect time to boot it up again. The Cold Stream DLC is set to hit the Xbox 360 tomorrow, alongside Wreckateer on the Xbox Live Arcade.
A few people have already asked, but the date for the Left 4 Dead 2 DLC comes right from the Left 4 Dead blog.
We'll still have to wait and see if it does come out tomorrow though.
